Glaciers in retreat
April 18th, 2007
When you have a moment, check out NSIDC’s Online Glacier Photograph Database. The images themselves are incredible, but one feature of the site, is particularly telling: the Long-term Change Photograph Pairs. I’m sure you can imagine what you’ll find. Here’s glacier X on your left pictured in the foreground in 19XX; and here is glacier X on your right pictured in the far distant background in more recent years. The wonders of repeat photography.
